Myofibroblastic infiltration of the bowel: A case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionInflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs), are uncommon tumours which can act with malignant potential. The management of these tumours can be extremely problematic but are often referred to surgical multi-disciplinary team meetings with the intention of surgical and oncological management (Chaudhary [1]). CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old gentleman was admitted with a 2-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting, and a 4-day history of absolute constipation. CT Abdomen Pelvis demonstrated distended loops of small bowel with pronounced fluid levels but no transition point. Intra-operative findings showed a right ileocolic mass adherent to the pelvic side wall and omental caking. Biopsies showed a florid myofibroblastic reaction, not a malignant process.
conclusionIMTS are aggressive lesions but metastases is rare. Abdominal IMTS are difficult to diagnose and manage as they are often initially mistaken for lymphoma or peritoneal metastases. The therapy of choice is surgical resection of the tumour (Firat et al. [3]).
